Something like:

#! perl -w use strict; use Data::Dumper; my @AoA = ( [ 'IBM','B', 226110, 22020702, 545 , 12.5109 ], [ 'AOL', 'B', '4RK11709', 20020702, 3455, 81.3588 ] ); my @AoS; for (0..1) { $AoS[$_] = join ',', @{$AoA[$_]} ; } print "Before\n", Dumper @AoA; print "After\n", Dumper @AoS; __DATA__ #output C:\test>181810 Before $VAR1 = [ 'IBM', 'B', 226110, 22020702, 545, '12.5109' ]; $VAR2 = [ 'AOL', 'B', '4RK11709', 20020702, 3455, '81.3588' ]; After $VAR1 = 'IBM,B,226110,22020702,545,12.5109'; $VAR2 = 'AOL,B,4RK11709,20020702,3455,81.3588';
